The FBI released a series of email documents over the weekend detailing the Department of Justice response to the fallout of the secret Phoenix tarmac meeting between Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton in June 2016. The dates on the emails range from July 1-3, 2016. On July 5, 2016, FBI Director James Comey announced former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would not face criminal charges for mishandling classified information.

A series of emails show one FBI official, whose name and email are redacted, fuming over leaks to the media about the meeting and what happened on the tarmac. The official received an email from a “layman” alleging a local Phoenix police officer who may have talked to a reporter “sounds like a security threat.” Officials went back and forth about finding out if the officer was SWAT or simply worked the motorcade and that “at a minimum” he should never work another detail again. One asked if local law enforcement assisting the FBI on motorcades should sign non-disclosure agreements in the future. Another official called an Observer article about the meeting, with details about how President Clinton got to Lynch’s private plane, “infuriating.”

Talking points about how to handle the fallout are referenced, but fully redacted.

Another email shows correspondence between senior leadership at the FBI, including former FBI Director James Comey and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, about the developments in the media fallout after the meeting. There are also emails from FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok.

Hillary Clinton very upset and threatened President Trump that if he directs his Justice Department to investigate her role in a 2010 sale of a uranium company, it would be “a disastrous step into politicizing the Justice Department.”

“This is such an abuse of power,” Clinton said in an interview with Mother Jones, following reports that the Justice Department is considering appointing a special counsel to investigate.

“I regret if they do it because it will be such a disastrous step to politicizing the justice system,” she said. “If they send a signal that we’re going to be like some dictatorship, like some authoritarian regime, where political opponents are going to be unfairly, fraudulently investigated, that rips at the fabric of the contract we have, that we can trust our justice system.”

Federal documents from the Uranium One Deal reveal more about Russia’s intent to make the U.S. dependent on Russia’s nuclear fuel. Today, reports stated Russia intended to secure billions of dollars in contracts as part of its strategy to dominate global uranium markets. It also revealed an FBI informant found criminal activity at Rosatom one year before Obama officials approved the sale of Uranium One. The documents contradict earlier media reports of no uranium ore leaving the U.S. Additionally, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission gave the company an export license for uranium ore to be processed in Canada, some of which was then sent to Europe.
